In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, strategic supplier selection is crucial for securing a reliable and cost-effective supply chain. This thesis examines the implementation of a capacity analysis and a should-cost model to optimize supplier selection and contracting for Northvolt, a leading battery manufacturer, as it expands into North America. With Northvolt's new
The industrial sector of Sweden used 136 TWh of energy 2022 out of which the agricultural sector used 6.09 TWh. The goal of the country is to become 50% more energy efficient by 2030 compared to 2005. Furthermore, Sweden’s long-term target is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. From 2005-2022 the total energy use of the agricultural sector has been reduced by 16% but previous stu
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka erfarenheter lärare har av systematiskt kvalitetsarbete, samt vilka möjligheter och begränsningar de identifierar med arbetssättet. För att besvara frågorna används kvalitativa intervjuer med sju lärare som arbetar vid en kommunal högstadieskola. Empirin har analyserats med hjälp av organisationssociologisk teori och perspektiv på organisering av offentl
Stirred tanks are essential components in design and optimization of food processing lines, as they assure proper mixing and homogenization of ingredients. In this context, the mixing time is one of the most impactful performance parameters affecting various process design decisions. Thus, reliable methods to accurately predict mixing times in stirred tanks are highly desired. The aim of this the
Refrigerant systems such as chillers and are widely used to create a comfortable indoor climate, often incorporated in large buildings or offices. It relies on a refrigerant circuit that lowers temperature of a coolant via a heat exchanger, called an evaporator. The coolant enters a fan coil which lowers the surrounding air temperature in a desired space and recirculates back to the evaporator at
Business angels play a crucial role in stimulating the growth of early-stage ventures. They are key players in the venture financing market, providing both financial support and experience from their own entrepreneurial experiences. As the entrepreneurial landscape has historically advantaged males, leading to its male-predominance, previous studies raise awareness of how business angels, particul
Bakgrund: Forskning visar att aktivitet och delaktighet är viktigt för en persons hälsa. Vikten av att utföra aktiviteter i en miljö med rätt förutsättningar är beforskat. Forskningen om ickebinäras hinder och möjligheter att deltaga och utföra aktiviteter är begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka ickebinära personers upplevelse av hinder och faktorer som möjliggör aktivitet och delaktighet i Sverige. Metod
Cybersäkerhet är en pressad utmaning i dagens samhälle och är en strategisk prioritering som kräver omfattande arbete. Denna studie utforskar de faktorer som påverkar implementeringen av cybersäkerhetsstrategier inom organisationer. Genom att använda Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) ramverket, analyseras hur tekniska, organisatoriska och omgivningsmässiga aspekter påverkar cybersäkerhetså
Etik är något som påverkar alla människor. Interaktioner mellan människor implicerar nödvändigheten av etiska överväganden. Ju komplexare situationer dessa interaktioner består av, desto mer övervägande krävs det. En sådan interaktion är rekrytering. Rekrytering innebär mellanmänskliga interaktioner av en komplex art, vilket kräver etiska överväganden som inte kan förklaras av våra vardagliga uppf
Background: The rise of influencer marketing, fuelled by globalisation and social media popularity, has led to an increased ethically contested promotion of aesthetic surgery by influencers. Existing research has primarily focused on consumers, leaving the influencer perspective and their ethical justifications largely unexplored. Purpose: To explore the ethical justifications of social media infl
This study aimed to engineer and characterize a series of Amelogenin-ELP fusion proteins to explore their potential as biomaterials with enhanced properties. Eleven constructs (176-186) were designed and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, with successful purification confirmed by SDS-PAGE. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) revealed that constructs 181, 185, and 186 formed nanospheres similar to fu
This study evaluates a methanol compression ignition engine's stability, performance, and emissions using glow plugs at low loads. A Scania D13 engine modified to run on methanol was tested to assess the impact of glow plugs on combustion stability, engine efficiency, and emissions characteristics, particularly in combination with various injection strategies. The research objectives focused o
This thesis examines the nascent sector of cultivated meat in Europe, analysing its potential market penetration against the backdrop of evolving consumer attitudes, complex regulatory frameworks, and innovative business models. Given the pressing environmental concerns associated with traditional meat production, cultivated meat presents a sustainable alternative that promises to reshape the meat
Audio Description (AD) is developing fast, becoming the norm for big streaming platforms. However, the research field remains largely underexplored. When comparing AD practices between countries, studies seem to focus on guidelines rather than how these are used, or not, by audio describers. Additionally, not enough emphasis is placed on cross-varietal differences of English AD, and in cases when
Bakgrund: Forskning visar att ett extrema inomhustemperaturer påverkar bland annat människors prestationsförmåga och förmågan att koncentrera sig. Dessutom kan ett dåligt inomhusklimat leda till hälsobesvär hos brukarna. Det är således viktigt att säkerställa att byggnader har ett bra inomhusklimat. Medeltemperaturen på jorden ökar, vilket leder också till att inomhustemperaturen ökar. Därför är Research shows that the indoor environment can have a negative impact on the users’ performance and concentration. An extreme indoor environment might lead to health problems for the users. It is therefore important to ensure that buildings have a good indoor environment. The aim of this thesis is to compare physical measurements with computer simulations regarding indoor environmental parameters.
This study examines the long-term abnormal returns of stocks following Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs) on the Swedish and American markets from January 2000 to March 2021. Additionally, it examines the differences between Swedish and American companies and investigates factors influencing these disparities, focusing on the importance of market capitalization at
I en tid av växande misstro till institutionella sanningsauktoriteter har alternativa verkligheter fått starkare fäste i form av konspirationsteorier. Dessa har överlappat med rörelser som till synes inte verkar ha något gemensamt med dem, och genom att undersöka dessa oväntade fall kan vi möjligtvis skapa förståelse för de fundamentala aspekterna av hur människor interagerar med konspirationsteor
